It is a modern city and road junction surrounded by a rich agricultural and cattle-raising area. , Calif. -- Redwood Toxicology Laboratory (RTL (Register Transfer Level) A high-level hardware description language (HDL) for defining digital circuits. The circuits are described as a collection of registers, Boolean equations, control logic such as "if-then-else" statements as well as complex event sequences; ) today announced it now offers urine ethyl ethyl (ĕth`əl), CH3CH2, organic free radical or alkyl group derived from ethane by removing one hydrogen atom. glucuronide (EtG) testing. EtG is an alcohol metabolite metabolite, organic compound that is a starting material in, an intermediate in, or an end product of metabolism. Starting materials are substances, usually small and of simple structure, absorbed by the organism as food. that remains in the body and is detectable in urine for up to 80 hours after the elimination of alcohol. EtG is only evident when alcohol is consumed and is not produced as a result of fermentation. EtG testing is ideal for zero tolerance The policy of applying laws or penalties to even minor infringements of a code in order to reinforce its overall importance and enhance deterrence. Since the 1980s the phrase zero tolerance has signified a philosophy toward illegal conduct that favors strict imposition of and abstinence situations in the drug and alcohol treatment industry. Standard urine alcohol testing currently used by most treatment programs does not allow for the accuracy and extended detection window that EtG testing provides. By utilizing liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), the most sophisticated equipment and technology available, RTL is able to provide accurate and reliable results. Robert Mount, RTL's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Many of our customers require a more sensitive test for the detection of alcohol use. RTL responded to customer demand by developing an affordable and reliable EtG test. We will continue to develop toxicology technologies to provide our customers with the most comprehensive drug testing programs available."
